Commissioner Recognition

At the Commissioner's Colliege this award was presented in recognition for Commissioner's service during the term for Council Executive Vice President, President and Chairman. It is a small token of my appreciation for your 6 years of dedication to successful Scouting in Denver.

Arrowhead Honor / Commissioner Key

The Arrowhead Honor and Commissioner Key recognize commissioners who have taken the recommended training for these positions and have achieved a high standard of performance. Awards are available in the following categories:

The Commissioner Service Award of Excellence in Unit Service was developed as a nationwide effort to engage Scouting volunteers and professional Scouters to work together in focusing on unit retention. Any registered commissioner who is providing direct unit service is eligible to earn the Commissioner Award of Excellence in Unit Service.

This award is presented to commissioners who have served actively as a registered commissioner for at least five years, have completed the commissioner training courses, received the Arrowhead Honor Award, and whose units/district/council has achieved a level of quality through the BSA's Quality Unit/District/Council and/or Journey to Excellence programs.

This award recognizes the outstanding unit commissioner from the Denver Area Council and is presented at the annual dinner. The outstanding unit commissioner will be selected from among nominations made by the district commissioners as well as members of the council commissioner’s cabinet. Generally, the candidate would have previously achieved the Commissioner Key Award, and the Arrowhead Honor for his/her position, and/or the Distinguished Commissioner Award for his/her position.

College of Commissioner Science

The purpose of the College of Commissioner Service shall be to offer commissioners of Denver Area Council (and surrounding Councils) of the Boy Scouts of America a vehicle for continuing their education through advanced learning experiences in unit service. The College's objectives are to help commissioners expand their skills beyond those of Commissioner Basic Training and to expand the unit service philosophy. The goal of this experience shall be to promote the increased effectiveness of the individual commissioner. This ongoing training opportunity will benefit new commissioners and experienced Unit Commissioners.

Any adult leader that is curious about the numerous resources available in the Scouting movement is invited to attend.
